Camping with a 2 yr old

Well - we are home from camping. Actually we have been home since Tuesday night. That was by far the LONGEST 36 hrs EVER!!!

We learned a few things... (1) don't buy a tent from Cabelas (2) small 4 person tents (the back up tent) don't make good homes (3) make sure the electricity at your site works AS SOON as you get there & (4) 2 yr olds with OR without Autism don't love camping as much as you think they might :)

The first day of our trip was stressful to say the least...just one thing after the next happened. The second day we checked out early (luckily they gave us a refund for the 3 nights we didn't stay) and headed down to South Haven for a day at the beach. If you haven't been to Van Buren State Park I highly recommend it. The beach is awesome, clean and has a really nice sand bar in the lake...we love it there :) After our day at the beach we headed into town to do some shopping and grab a bite to eat. Madison fell asleep within minutes of being in the car so we just decided to forgo downtown and head home. We were home by 8:30 and I was completely unpacked with 2 loads of laundry done by midnight :)

We did enjoy our time as a family but we certainly were glad to be home! We were gone for such a short time I didn't even take any pics...sorry.

Well things picked right back up at home. Eric is working very hard to get our sun room done - I can't wait to have our first game night in it :) Get ready Aline, Andrew, Mom & Dad...the trophy is up for grabs this time...TRIVIA TIME!!!!

Time to get the day going. I love you all and hope to see you soon!
